That Part D prescription drug plan should be rolled [View all]

right into medicare instead of a separate plan. Those companies just keep raising the rates without a thought that some people subsist on Medicare alone and are fast running out of "how to pay" for the insurance.
Same story with medigap policies. Apparently the Obamacare doesn't address medigap policies.
I would think medicare people could get on the exchange to get a medigap policy.
